You're viewing a single thread.
The Saudis and Iran? They're going to get along like a sack full of cats.
That's the point, right? If the group can patch up Saudi-Iran relationships, that shows the world what kind of soft power the group has.
China have been helping them patch up.
And they succeeded to certain degree. Official relations has been restored between the two countries recently.
It was a huge accomplishment, one the US failed to do in decades.
Did the US really want to?
Americans want to keep selling weapons to the Saudis, which means they are probably against a Saudi-Iran reconciliation.
When u say US failed to do, you are giving impression that US wanted or tried but failed.
US has severed its relations with Iran since Islamic revolution more than 50 years ago. Its not beneficial for them that Saudi Arabia (their ally) have good relationship with Iran.. Now that relationship between Saudi Arabia and US is getting worse after murder of the journalist khashougji and Biden calling for Bin Salman to be punished, China stepped in and tried get the two countries together
China did good there.
